Shift work often leads to late-night snacking, energy crashes, and disrupted sleep. But by adjusting when and what you eat, you can regain control of your energy, weight, and recovery—without strict diets.
In this episode, I break down simple strategies that help shift workers thrive:
- Why your circadian rhythm shapes digestion and insulin sensitivity
- How late-night eating drives weight gain and poor sleep
- The 9 p.m.–6 a.m. no-eat guideline and how it supports recovery
- Smarter caffeine and hydration cut-offs for night shifts
- Low GI foods that stabilise energy and reduce cravings
- Easy swaps to avoid vending machine traps
- How to set an 8–10 hour daytime eating window that works for real life
If you’re ready to stop juggling through shifts and start feeling better, book a free 15-minute assessment call through the link in the show notes. Subscribe, leave a rating, and share this episode with a colleague who needs it.
